Ruffles: A Summer Must-Have
Natalie Portman rocked the ruffled look in Cannes last month, and since then, the frilly and feminine style has become a copy-worthy look for Summer. Being that not all of us can afford Lanvin, Givenchy and designer duds of the like, here are some cute and affordable tiered dresses that will help us mimic the glamorous look.
CASUAL
This Velvet Torch jersey dress is simple and casual, but can easily be dressed up with a belt and a cute pair of heels. The single ruffle at the bust adds a girlie touch without going over-the-top. $44 available at Nordstrom.
CLASSIC DRESSY
This Milly dress is very ethereal and ultra-fem with its flowy ruffled shape. Soft and elegant, this would be perfect for weddings and all of your more formal summer events. $374 available on shopbop.com.
NIGHT OUT
This Elizabeth and James frock with plunging neckline and subtle ruching is both angelic and sexy at the same time. Throw on your strappy heels for a hot look for your next girls’ night out. $375 available on shopbop.com.
